(Λ ,ş ş ίσα ş ; )
Where is the game played:
Indoors – at school or outdoors – in the
street and in the park.
Type of the game: a traditional team
game, accompanied by nursery rhymes.

Materials needed: Some clothes (jacket, pants,
shoes, etc.) a hat and a stick.
Number of participants: minimum – 6.
Additional information: The kids sing and
play at the same time.
The message of this particular play song has to
do with how careful we should be when meeting
a stranger who tries to come close to us in a
devious way. Therefore, kids are requested to
protect themselves and their mates by means of
their own innocence.
8

9. GREECE Rules:
1.A group of children they are holding hands thus forming a
closed circle and they are walking both clockwise and
anticlockwise, rhythmically singing and dramatizing the
lyrics.
2.The kid who plays the part of the ''wolf '' stands away
from the circle lurking to chase and catch them, while
getting dressed as if he were a person.
3. During the song the kids ask questions and the ''wolf ''
gives answers forming in this way a dialogue between
the two, which goes like that:
I'm walking- I 'm walking in the forest
when the wolf isn't here.
Wolf, wolf, are you here?
I'm putting on my waistcoat!
I' m putting on my jacket !
I'm putting on my pants !
I'm putting on my shoes !
I'm putting on my hat !
Wolf , wolf, are you here?
I'm taking my stick
and I'm chasing you !!!
4. The wolf is chasing the kids and every kid he touches with
his stick gets ''burnt'' and quits the game. When the wolf
catches all the kids in the group, he takes his clothes off
and then a new kid plays the part of the wolf . In this
way, the play song is repeated.
The aim of the game: is the dramatization which leads to the
psychokinetic expression through the rhythm, the lyrics and the role
alteration- it ultimately leads to the kids socializing via role play. Kids
cultivate their imagination , take initiative and
have a good time while improving their motor skills.
